  • Experience setting up and operating ISR sensor systems in a laboratory environment, including calibration and baseline testing
  • Experience with the configuration of optical elements, including mirrors, filters, lenses, fast steering mirrors, off-axis parabolic mirrors, stages, and similar support equipment
  • Experience supporting laboratory testing of optical systems
  • Experience using a Far-Field Optical Simulator (FFOS) to evaluate precision optical alignment of systems, including laser bore sighting, laser beam profile, optical imager alignment, and image quality metrics
  • Bachelor’s degree in an Engineering or Science field, including Physics, Applied Optics, Optical Sciences, or EE
  • Top Secret clearance

Nice If You Have:

  • Experience with laser propagation and subject matter expertise in the phenomenology of scattering, absorption, and turbulence
  • Experience supporting testing of optical systems to characterize atmospheric effects such as absorption, scattering, or turbulence on a laser system
  • Experience with optical test equipment, including power meters, photodiodes, detectors, interferometers, wavefront sensors, spectrometers, and beam profilers
  • Experience working with laser technologies, including pulsed visible, Near Infrared (NIR), and Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) lasers
  • Experience working with optical design and analysis software, including Labview, FRED, Zemax, WaveTrain, and MATLAB
  • Experience using Labview to control optical devices and systems
  • Experience designing systems to operate on ships or aircraft
  • Experience analyzing and quantifying pointing stability of optical systems mounted on ships or aircraft
  • Master’s degree in an Engineering or Science field, including Physics, Applied Optics, Optical Sciences, or EE

Clearance:
